Mary Parsons Obituary
Mary Agnes Parsons was born on November 5, 1926 to Melburn Embury and Mary (Culhane) Kniss in Jackson, Michigan. She passed away at her home in Apache, OK, with her family by her side on May 4, 2025. She was 98.
On July 27, 1943, she married the love of her life, Donald Emery Parsons, in Neosho, Missouri where Donald was in the Army Air Corp.
Mary was a manager for a clothing store most of her life. She loved bingo, even going throughout the week and twice on Fridays. She also enjoyed doing crafts and going to garage sales. Every Sunday, the family would come to the house where she would cook dinner and they would make lasting family memories. She enjoyed taking care of her grandchildren any chance she could. During Christmas, the family would all gather and load everyone on a trailer being pulled by the tractor to cut Christmas trees off the land.
Left behind to cherish her memory are her husband, Donald; children: Barbara Abdon, Daniel Parsons and wife Cathy; 4 grandchildren: Duane Abdon, Laura Ford, Donald Parsons and wife Sonya, Allison (Parsons) Moroso and husband Tony; 10 great-grandchildren: Devin Abdon, Chayne Abdon, Riley Ford, Corrina Ford, Ethan Parsons and wife Malea, Kade Parsons, Karlie Parsons, Andrew Lechuga, Bryce Moroso, Brandon Moroso; 7 great-great grandchildren: Jayce Abdon, Rayne Abdon, Jeria Abdon, Sierra Green, Ezra Ford, Chevelle Ford, Atlas Ford, plus 1 baby girl Abdon on the way; sister-in-law, Rita Parsons, and several nieces and nephews.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents; brothers: Robert Embury; sister, Eleanor Jones; and son-in-law: Wayne Abdon.
